Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): (possibly deliberate by the filmmaker) Worf and O'Brien reminisce about the Enterprise. O'Brien mentions Barkley and his "holo-suite" programs. On the Enterprise they are called holo-decks, not holo-suites.
